DIY Cassie Inspired Crochet Hairstyle: Your Go-To Guide for a Trendy, Protective Look

I’m always on the hunt for a style that’s easy to install, kind to my edges, and doesn’t compromise on that flawless, high-quality finish. So, I decided to put together a simple DIY guide to get Cassie’s signature crochet look right at home. The secret weapon? Finding the perfect hair.

Why Crochet is a Game-Changer

Before we dive in, let’s appreciate the magic of crochet braids. It’s a quick install, it’s a fantastic protective style, and the styling possibilities are endless. You can achieve a stunning, full-head of hair in under two hours. Yes, you read that right!

Getting the Look: Cassie-Inspired Crochet Tutorial

This style is all about soft, loose, and luscious waves that move with you. Here’s how to get it.

What You'll Need:

• A crochet needle (EayonHair offers free crochet tools)

• Your favorite braiding hair for the base (I keep it light with smaller cornrows)

• Scissors

• The Star of the Show: 4 bundles of EayonHair's Deep Wave, Curly or Wet and Wave Crochet Braids. (I used their 20-inch for that perfect, dramatic length, but you can customize!).

Why This EayonHair Choice is Everything:

I’ve tried a lot of crochet hair, and I have to be real—sometimes it can look… synthetic. The goal for this Cassie look is softness, movement, and a believable texture. I landed on EayonHair's crochet braids because the hair is incredibly soft, has a beautiful sheen without being overly shiny, and the wave pattern is consistent and natural. It doesn't have that stiff, "just-out-the-package" feel, which is a huge win.

The Simple Steps:

1. Braid It Down: Start with a clean, moisturized scalp. Braid your natural hair into cornrows that suit your head shape. I usually go for a simple back-to-front pattern.

2. The Crochet Process: Using your crochet needle, begin looping the EayonHair wefts through your cornrows. Start from the nape and work your way up to the crown. Make sure each weft is secure but not too tight—comfort is key!

3. Style & Customize: Once all the hair is installed, it's time to make it your own. Cassie’s style is a deep side part with flowing waves.

   • Create the Part: Use the end of your rat-tail comb to carve out a deep side part. The great thing about this EayonHair hair is that the base is ventilated, making it easy to create a clean, natural-looking part.

   • Finger Fluff & Go: Gently separate the waves with your fingers to add volume and break up any uniformity. The goal is effortless, "I-woke-up-like-this" waves. The texture of this hair makes it so easy—it doesn't tangle or get frizzy when you fluff it.

   • Pro Tip: For even more definition and to reduce any bulk at the roots, you can take a small curling wand and gently curl the first few inches of the hair near your part. This blends your natural hairline seamlessly with the crochet hair.

Final Thoughts & Why I'm Reaching for EayonHair Again

Honestly, this might be one of my favorite DIY styles to date. It’s low-maintenance, stunning, and my hair underneath is thriving. The real MVP here was the hair quality. EayonHair's crochet human hair made all the difference in achieving a high-end, salon-like result at home. From the easy installation to the way it catches the light, it just works.

If you’re looking to recreate this look or any style where quality is non-negotiable, I can’t recommend them enough. It’s a game-changer for anyone who loves a good protective style without the guesswork.
